Fat Free Potato Soup!

Chopped onions celery carrots and red bell peppers give this soup a delicious flavor

1 cup chopped onion

1 cup chopped bell pepper

2 celery stalks chopped

1 carton of vegetable broth

6 large potatoes chopped

1 teaspoon turmeric

1teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon of salt (optional if you are avoiding salt)

place this all in a pot and bring to a boil.  When the potatoes are tender taste the broth and adjust any seasoning....the broth should be tasty!  Then add the following :

1 cup plant based milk

1/2 cup nutritional yeast

2 Tablespoons of corn starch

Whisk it together and stir mixture into the potatoes and bring back to a boil.  I like to mash some of the potatoes with an immersion blender or a potato masher to make the soup thicker.  

Serve with some cornbread (recipe in another post) for a filling and delicious meal! 

Enjoy and stay compassionate! 

2 Ingredient Snack!

Sometimes I just need a little salty crunch.  I try to avoid salt but I try more to avoid long lists of ingredients I cannot pronounce!  

I found these at Rite Aide and a little handful once in a while is a nice crunch salty snack!  

Surprised to find them at Rite Aide, that why I look at labels wherever I go... you can find some gems that way!
